My Project

"A book is a dream that you can hold in your hand." Many of our books have been loved to death. Updating our library with current books will ignite students love for reading.

"The more that you read, the more things you will know, the more that you learn, the more places you'll go." Building a class library that instills a love of reading means having many different genres and levels of books for my students to choose from.

My goal is for my students to become excited about reading and not want to put their books down! I want all students to know they can go to our class library and find another book that will interest them just as much as their last book! It is a fact that finding the perfect books at an early age will develop students into readers for life. Getting your help now will allow me to build our class library, making it possible for students to choose books they find exciting and want to read! Thank you so much for your help!
